Chapter 11 - SPIES

BLOODY KNIGHT

DEITY OF ROMANCE

EPISODE 11:SPIES

YOKEL KINGDOM 

The dining table was designed with food in the dining space, and the maids and guards stood with bows when King Villatoro and Queen Delia walked in.

They both took their seats opposite each other, practically, nobody said a word to each other till Queen Delia settled on to break the comfortable silence.

"Any news from Prince Logan?" actually she wasn't interested in the topic but then she had to find out what was going on earth.

She can't lose a chance to eliminate Prince Logan.

She only hopes that he won't fulfill the task or mission.

King Villatoro uttered a sigh as he wanted to reply.

"No news yet, but I'll get news from the guard anytime soon" shortly as possible.

Queen Delia hoped that it'll be the worst news ever.

"Why don't we send someone else, I mean a personal guard from my lane what you say?" King Villatoro reasoned for a while before he answered.

"That'll be good, we can spy on him"Queen Delia smirked silently.

It's working absolutely on her side.

EARTH 

"Owww" Brigitta piped out as Prince Logan thrashed the ball on her face, she was on the brink of falling but fortunately she staggered on Prince Aleksei's body.

He held her firmly by the shoulders.

"Now we're even" Prince Logan had this smug smirk of victory. He glared at them and brushed past Prince Aleksei.

Prince Aleksei sighed and pushed her gently.  "I'm sorry" With a gasp she apologized.

Feeling severe pain in her forehead, she hardly moved her hand up to check.

She became frosted as she saw blood on her head.

The ball slammed her so badly and now it was making her bleed.

"Next time don't just jump in the middle, have you encountered him before?" Brigitta couldn't help but gauge up at him.

Surprised to hear him talk calmly and sonorously to her.

She thought he was going to yell at her or something but he did the opposite.

Incredible.

"In a club" it took Brigitta an eternity to answer.

Prince Aleksei scoffed at that "Oh you might have done something bad to him to have him be aggressive and take his revenge on you" Brigitta stood there like a fig tree with arched brows.

Strange how someone could be a psycho for taking revenge on her just because she fell on him.

He's a whacko 

"I… I…didn't mean it" she faltered 

"Don't try it next time and try not to cross our paths 'cause it won't be good for you" The hard tone he used shook her to the core.

Just now he was so serene but…

she snorted inwardly.

She watched him leave and Brigitta rushed to the school clinic to get treatment real quick.

Prince Logan was seen in an apothecary's shop to buy some medicines, he needs sleep at dusk.

"Wow, it's my favorite prince." He heard an exclamation from an old noble with a bow.

"I ain't here for chit chat" He picked up the sleeping pills that he needed.

"Don't tell me you still can't sleep" Prince Logan was left to grit at the old lady

"Should I answer?"  the lady gulped at his husky tone.

"Nope" Prince Logan confronted her "I'm searching for the damn Phoenix" the lady wheezed "Really, I bet King Villatoro must have forced you" "Or I would not be here"

It was his short reply.

"I bet your power was restrained " he bothered not to answer instead he turned to leave but then he noticed he was being spied on.

"I don't need to pay for it right?" The lady rolled her eyes but was careful not for Prince Logan to catch a glimpse of her.

"Yes my prince" She bowed again.

He nodded and stepped out, he climbed on the bike Princess Docia brought for him and then drove away.

He goggles back to still see them trailing after him.

He scorned a perfect thing to relieve his anger.

They're gonna fall as victims.

Prince Logan made sure to stop in a secluded place waiting for their arrival and he finally beat them up without caring to ask who sent them.

He throttled their necks till they gave up their ghosts. 

They were three in number. Bloodstained on his body. He breathed out while going to his bike.

He climbed on it and zoomed off.

Maybe since everybody wants the Phoenix they won't hesitate to kill each other.

But kinda the guys look like Queen Delia's Henchmen or maybe he was wrong.

Even with his powers restrained he's still strong and withal he's a knight.

The day paved the way for the night to do his piece.

It wasn't too late when Princess Docia went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for Prince Logan, her guard, and herself.

After she was done, she beautified the dining table with different kinds of delicacies.

This morning she visited the restaurant she came up with and what amazed her was people kept on trooping in.

Just that thought brought a smile to her face while residing on earth, she's gonna make a good fortune out of it.

Honestly, it's booming so well.

"Declan come on, we need to fill up" It didn't take much time for Declan to descend the stairs.

He could effortlessly breathe in the aroma from afar.

Princess Docia knew he must be hungry and tired from watching 

over her.

She faced him with a beam but it lasted only for seconds as she heard him mutter… "I can't my lady" 

"Cut it out Declan, we ain't in the castle, so be free" Even when she made that remark, Declan still stood his guard. Abiding by the rules of his monarch.

Upon bowing and walking away Princess Docia had no choice but to drag him to the seat.

"My lady I…"

"It's a command" she ordered. It made Declan abide by her command immediately.

The minute she was dishing out his meal Delan picked up his cutleries to eat.

"Zander should be here by now, it's already 10:pm" She was demented with worry. "I can go look for him, my lady" Princess Docia brushed the ellipticals away.

"Don't, he can take care of himself" It did not genuinely sit well with her when she stated that. She wants her brother back home but she can't give Declan an errand.

It made her perturbed so much not to see him at this time of the night.

Delan stayed with her as he was done eating, both looked worried.

Princess Docia paced around with her hands on her waist.

She gazed at the time and it was close to 12:am. 

At the sound of the door being opened, Princess Docia was fast enough to face the door.

It brightened her mood to see Prince Logan walk in. Hastily she rushed to him but rather she was astounded to see a blood stain on his body.

"What happened to you!?" she clamored, her eyes slacked open "Nothing" flatly he started.

"Nothing ahh, are you being serious?" she sneered and took his wrist, and then dragged him to his room.

Declan bowed to them and decided to pack up the food in the fridge since he was not certain they'd eat again.

Princess Docia made him sit on the bed, all that Prince Logan did was stare at his sister's face.

He remarked how demented she must have been.

"You're panicking" she glared at him hard "What you want me to do, calm?" she hissed slowly.

"These ain't my blood, it belongs to some bunch of spies" he explained slowly.

She breathed out in relief that they were not his blood but on second thought, he was almost killed.

"Spies, what spies?" asked Princess Docia with rapt attention "I went to the apothecary's shop but unfortunately I met these three mean-looking guys that were ready to kill me" he sighed as he said that, apparently, tired of talking.

"So you killed them all" she retorted rhetorically. "You're gonna reprimand me, damn Docia, I don't need that right now" he flared up.

Hastily she bent to hug him "You made me so worried, do you happen to know who sent them?" "I could care less" she disengaged.

"At least you're safe" Prince Logan stood up to pull off his shirt. "I prepared something delicious" At that statement she earned her brother's attention so quickly.

Prince Logan snickered at her "What?" she frowned at him.

"Don't be delusional, you can't cook" He teased. "Declan loved it" "He's a guard stupid, so seemingly he won't tell you the truth" She loured more at his bickering words.

"Whatever you should thank me for doing this" "And why should I when I didn't touch the meal?" He smirked. "Annoying kid" Her hands mistakenly came in contact with the medicines in his sweater when she wanted to touch him

"You can't sleep?" the question she asked "It's hard" he simply replied.

It made her sigh sadly.

"Memories keep you awake right?" "Don't sound too serious" "What do you mean by that, hey I'm your big sister and it peeves me that my little brother can't fall asleep without pills" He marked how her eyes had become red so easily.

He heaved exasperated, going to her.

He circled her in an embrace with a tender peck on her lips.

"I didn't mean to be sarcastic, didn't mean to upset you or make you worry" he patted her back.

She looked at him and said "I'm gonna stay here tonight" He gave a nod with no argument.

Withal, he needs to keep her safe, she'd always been there for him and he won't let anything bad happen to her.

She's his mother and sister, and with her, he got the strength.
